Meeting the Gentle Giants

Whale Watching: On day 5 we get to see the largest mammals on this planet, Whales. If you are in Iceland, you should visit Húsavík, the whale-watching capital of Europe. Over 23 species of whales can be found in Icelandic waters. You can get to see these gentle giants from the safe confines of a ship that will take you there.

There are some particular whale species that are regularly sighted like minke whale, white beaked dolphin, humpback whale, harbor porpoise, and the blue whale. Our champion will describe how you can look out for whales and what you are expected to see. Your safety will be also be ensured by the Champion, by keeping an account of the climatic conditions that can affect whale-watching.
